On May 11, 2009, the Henry M. Jackson School of International
Studies celebrated
its Centennial at the Fairmont Olympic Hotel in Seattle, WA. UW
President Mark Emmert welcomed our keynote speaker, Governor
Christine Gregoire and celebrants. Over 400 friends, well
wishers, alumni, community partners, businesses, UW administrators,
faculty, and staff celebrated 100 years of history and education
while looking forward to the next 100 years! The evening was
particularly special for the International Studies Program and the
Center for Global Studies because we honored Professor Donald
Hellman with an anonymous gift in his name to support excellence in
international studies scholarship. This extraordinary gift is
a fitting tribute to Professor Hellman's distinguished career and
one that will be greatly appreciated by students and scholars for
years to come!
